HANGER.

Application filed June 8,

My invention. relates to a hanger, and has for its chiel object a mechanism that Will sustain a pendently swinging load eliminating the friction being imposed on the cable, chain, or strap a; the liiearing point of i e hang r.

A further Object of my invention is to provide a hanger adapted for oscillat on.

A still further object of my inventioi'i to provide a l'ianger having a convenient hook to Which the chain or other means for pendency may be attached.

These and other objects will hereinafter he more fully explained, ret'crcn e being had to the accompanying drawings 'Wlliill tot-1n a part of this application in which Fi 1 is a side elevation of the ham parts broken away for convenience of ill ration.

Fig. 2 is a transverse View of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is atop View, parts removed for convenience of illustration.

Fig. 4 is a side View, showing a chain attached.

F 5 is a side View showing the sleeve with roller bearings.

l is a clip having; an aperture 2, centrally positioned as shown in Fig. 3, i a screw cn gaging in said aperture lay which means the said clip may be fastened to a heann or the like, 5 is a pin engaging in apertures tln'ough the ends of the clip, the said pin having a head A on one end and cotter pin 6 engaging; through an aperture in. said pin by which means the pin is held to engagement through the said apertures, and on said pin is revolvahly mounted a sleeve having a shank T integral therewith, the said shank having a hook 8 to Which the load hearing cable or chain may be attached, on the end of said shank, and positioned at rigl'it angles thereto an annular ring 9 through which the load bearing cable or chain will pass and by euaageinent there through will prevent the said shank trom revolving, allowing the chain to detach from the hook 8, but the principal object ot' the cal) re engaging through said ring); that the shank Will oscillate with the oscillations ot' the chain eliminating the friction that otherwise would he on the chain Where the load is imposed. In Fig. 5 is shown roller hearings B for the sleeve which will elin1i- 1925. Serial no. 35,629.

hate friction and will require less oiling. in the event of a chain being employed to tarry the load it can readily be seen how the length may be varied by attaching any of the links to the hook.

My hanger will also eliminate unnecessary friction and Wear on a. strap of leather or other material, and when such is employed tor suspending the load a ring niayhe attached to the end thereof, for engagement with the hook, or the strap perh .atec cor engagement therewith, and to acconnnod a to for the shape of a strap the annular ring may he changed to a slot through. which the strap will pass causing the shank to function for the purpose heretofore described.

In Fig. 2 l have shown a screw one; through the perforation of the clip, I may he driven into a beam or the like hv means of a Wrench, and to olniate revolutions of the screw or hanger, a lock war-:hcr may he employed as in Fig. l at it), but ll (5 i not confine myself to use any partnailar means tor attaching the hanger and otl or modifications may be employed as lies Within the scope ot the appended claim. lf leit or do I set :torth any particular purpose for Which my h an may he employed, hut I do rcconnnend its in porch, and other swings as factor o:v safety.

l laving thus described my invention, What I claim as new and desire to secure l y Letters Patent is i a. L -shaped clip having a pin coimected to the ends or arms thereof and means to attach the clip to a. heain or the like, a shank havi h portion turned hack on itse f, wherein, an eye is formed to tango e on the pi a hook nicmlier integrally connoc ed to the return end poi-thin ot the shank the t pptittl d of the shank having: a right at litfl the miter portion of which is periior d through which a chain or cord will ena'aegc when attached to the hook and looped. ov the eye, whereby the shank is rocked to a. lined position to void trictionai engagement between the chain or cord and its lead hea. 'ing point.
